What to File for a minor child after parent is naturalized?

[liahnsilver 0]

My Question is for my daughter. She is a permanent resident with a to year GC. I have written her name down on the N-400 and my understanding is that once I get naturalized, she becomes automatically a citizen but will need to file some paperwork at the USCIS. Is this the N-600? or N-600K? and When should I file it?

Thanks in advance for y'alls inputs

As soon as you complete the naturalization process and receive your Certificate of Naturalization, you can apply for a Certificate of Citizenship for your daughter using form N-600 (assuming she's still under 18 at the time). You can also apply for her U.S. passport anytime after you become a citizen. You should also stop by the Social Security office to update their records for both of you to reflect your new citizenship status. Good luck!

We haven't filed the N600 for my son yet but he got his US passport the same time that I did. Just waiting for school to be out and then I'll be taking him to SSA to update his SS record.

So she wont really need to file the N-600 asap..a passport will do right? At the SSA are they gonna ask for proof of her citizenship when we change her status? or I would be showing my certificate of citizenship?

We never found out since our daughter turned 18 before we could apply, but wondered about this myself. If that child is a LPR, and was conditional just like their parent, don't they receive a certificate of US citizenship as well? Shouldn't you submit passport photos of that child with the N-400?

Just seems since the USCIS and DOS loves to deal with pieces of paper, that child should receive a piece of paper as well as the parent.

There is aprt on the N-400 where you write down the names of the children/child and their A-..I also submitted copies of her GC, birth certificate and school records..So I really dont know if they should receive a certificate or not..I guess we'll see
